IT WAS A SWASTIKA, NOT A NOOSE!

If you're a white male college president, you'd better begin looking for something else to do.

Tim Wolf resigned today as Chancellor of the University of Missouri, after pressure from the football team forced his hand.

He didn't respond properly to the "environment" created by a series of speech and vandalism incidents that were deemed to be racist by black students. One of the incidents involved a swastika. A swastika, you know, the symbol of the World War II atrocities against Jews. Jews, not blacks. Not a noose, which would be an offensive symbol, and rightly so, against American blacks descended of slaves. Black sensibilities seemed to be expanding their scope, no?

I cannot think of an "environment" more coddling for blacks, more protective of the sensibilities of black people, than a college campus in the USA. College campuses are headed by liberals, because one simply cannot elevate to positions of power within a college administration and harbor even one scintilla of conservative sentiment. They are staffed by liberals for the same reason, and possessed of strict speech codes largely to protect favored groups' fragile sensibilities, affirmative action anyone?

And it's a shame. Winners are defined and made by not making excuses. Look at how many excuses are placed into young blacks' brains by the PC crowd. How would you like to be a parent of a black child, attempting to instill a hard-work-pays-off attitude in them, while their "protectors" hand them loser excuses, in constant fashion? If you fail, then it's not your fault, is the message. It's white racism. That's why you failed.  And it is a debilitating, crippling crutch for a whole culture to imbibe and it inevitably relegates them to the basement of life.

I'm a conservative BECAUSE I care for the poor and downtrodden.

I am a conservative BECAUSE I know slavery to be a blight on our history, and I care about my black brothers and sisters.

This UM episode is so ridiculous, so sad.

I would have said ok, fine, you football players are on scholarship, you don't show up, you lose it.

I would have called their bluff. And suffered the same fate. Clearly, a no win situation for white college administrators, and blacks. You liberals created this, and though it is so fitting that it should hit you upside your heads,  as usual, you end up harming precisely those you profess to care about. Those whom you coddle, you weaken. It's just the way things are.
